I was appalled to learn that state Rep. John Adams, R-Sydney, is sponsoring a bill that would
cause cities, counties and private corporations to lose state funding if they house some of the
immigrant children who have crossed our borders seeking refuge (“Bill would punish cities that
house migrant kids,”
Dispatch article, Saturday).

This is a humanitarian crisis, and those children who are fleeing violence and chaos require our
compassion and immediate assistance, not our hatred and exclusion.

I pray that our elected leaders will renounce this bill and call on Ohioans to sponsor these
children.
